A snow storm swept in on Wednesday, shuttering school but ended up fizzling out with less than two inches and a lot of ice. On Saturday we did a girl’s day shopping trip and then took Sophia out for dinner to celebrate her eighth birthday, which is later this week. Stay Caffeinated.

While we didn’t get any snow we did get a lot of cold days and wind.
jinjer
WE are in the “sleddable/snowman snow” area of the Arkansas map for Tuesday night.
Happy Birthday to Sophia!
Stephanie
Enjoy the snow!
Victoria H
Glad you had a nice girls day! Ice is def worst than snow!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Omigosh, is Sophia eight already?!!! I remember how excited you were when she was born. Happy birthday to the Princess! And I’m glad you survived the ice storm.
hena
Happy Birthday Sophia.
We have had no snow so far.. just a lot of rain.
Anne - Books of My Heart
Fun that you got a girl’s day. Ice can be more treacherous than snow.
Cindy Davis
Wow, I don’t like ice storms! Glad you were able to get out yesterday for some shopping! I hope you enjoy your new books and have a fabulous week!
Joanne
A lot of ice is also dangerous though, right? – she asks in ignorance from the Caribbean.
Jill
That is good news about Amazon. I hadn’t heard that.
Sophia Rose
We haven’t gotten much snow until today, but not enough for Snow Days. Glad you had a fun girls day out.
Have a good week, Kimberly!
Vi @Inkvotary
We had some snowfall too, last night. Everything is white *smile* Sophia celebrates her eighth birthday? How time flies *sigh*
Meezan
Happy Birthday to Sophia! That is great news about the new Amazon e-book return policy. Hopefully they will follow through and it won’t be delayed too much longer. Have a great week! 🙂
Lillian @ Mom with a Reading Problem
I wouldn’t mind some cold weather. We had record highs this week and thunderstorms 🤦🏼♀️ It’s like we’ve skipped over winter and went straight to spring. Happy birthday to Sophia! Hope you have a great week 😀
Wendy
We had almost a full week of snow closures. They only went to school one day last week because of snow, and they are predicting more tonight. Have a great week, Kimberly and Happy Birthday to Sophia!
BonnieReadsAndWrites
I hope you enjoyed your snow day!
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
We got a tiny bit of snow, but not anything enough to cancel school. However since we only had 3 days with students this week, I didn’t complain. But our district did start making all the plans so that if we know far enough ahead of time, like not the morning of a school cancellation, but earlier the night before, they can set up online school requirements for the day so we don’t have to make up any days at the end of the year. Sounds like you had a nice weekend!
Berls
I cannot believe Sophia is 8! Happy birthday to the princess! How time flies! Ugh to snow – so glad we haven’t been hit that bad yet (and preferably not at all).
I’m really glad Amazon is updating their return policy for ebooks – any word on doing similar to audiobooks? I only buy from Audible if I have no other choice because it’s such a reprehensible return policy.
Have a great week!
Kimberly
I believe they stopped folks from returning books they have listened to.
Tessa
We have not seen any snow yet. Lots of rain but no snow. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Lover of Romance
That is a weird snow storm. We also got some snow on Wednesday but was just a little bit but did get a bit icy once the sun set. I am happy to see Harmony of Lies on your list, I am excited for that one as well.
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
Happy birthday wishes to Sophia!
Stay warm & have a great reading week.
sjhigbee
Glad that the expected snow storm didn’t cause the havoc that was feared – keep warm and cosy, Kimberly:).
Mareli Thalwitzer
It’s unbelievably hot here in SA, I can’t even think of snow! But glad it wasn’t too bad and you guys got to celebrate Sophia’s birthday.
Enjoy all the new book editions and have a lovely week!
S. J. Pajonas
We haven’t gotten any snow here yet and I think this is some kind of record now. I’m just waiting to be dumped on. I know it’s coming. Lol.
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
Glad the storm was less than expected. And the girls day sounds like fun! I need to plan something like that with my sisters.
Bookworm
Glad the snow wasn’t too bad, and the girls day sounds so nice! Enjoy your books this week, it’s been too long since I read Lori Foster.
A Voracious Reader
On this day last year we had snow. Raining and chilly today. blerg. Happy early Birthday Sophia!
Jodie
Happy Birthday to Sophia! I hope the snow and ice stays away for awhile. Have a wonderful week ahead Kimberly.
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Sounds like a good week all in all! Minus the icy snow storm! I can’t believe Sophia is 8 already! I can remember you mentioning her birth here on the blog! Where has the time gone!
Nice new reads! Those are new to me ones but I hope you will enjoy each and every one of them!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Harvee
Hope you enjoy Knife Edge. Looks like a good one.
Sophie
Honestly Kimberly, the more I age, the more I despise winter! Or at least teh more I despise owning a car, without a garage to park it in LOL I hope you had fun with Sophia! Have a great Sunday!
Emily @Budget Tales Book Blog
Thank goodness it fizzled out. I keep waiting for snow here but so far we haven’t had any. We have had the paths freeze though so we have had the awful ice and none of the fun of the snow!
Have a great week!
Laura Thomas
I went from AC to heat in the same day. Thinking I should hibernate until spring. LOL
Greg
Sounds like a pretty good week! I’ll have to check out your grant review- I have her Wayward series I want to start in 2023.
Siran
Similar to the weather in my area
Terrie @ Bookshelf Journeys
Ahhh – winter weather; so unpredictable. Glad you didn’t have more snow. Looks like you’ve got a great selection of books coming up – I also have the ARC for Weyward – I”m looking forward to it! Have a terrific week.
Terrie @ Bookshelf Journeys
LORI CASWELL
Yeah, the snowstorm wasn’t much here either, about 1-2 inches. Our daughter said it was slippery out but we never left the house 🙂
Have a great week!
Laurel-Rain Snow
Sounds like a great week! Enjoy your books and the upcoming one.
Katherine
Happy birthday to Sophia and what a fantastic sounding girls day! Snow days here usually end up with nothing but our world kind of shuts down if we get more than a 1/2 inch or so of snow! Have a great week!
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
It’s been cold here too, but not quite enough to snow. It is cold overnight and in the morning. It was 25 degrees but it warmed to 47. Driving in the snow or ice is scary to me. Glad to hear you got a nice celebration in with Sophia!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
Happy Birthday to Sophia!
I’m glad you didn’t end up with more than 2 inches of snow. Stay warm and safe!
Have a great week!
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner’s Bookish World
Sounds like you had a great girl’s day on Saturday! We ended up with just over 6 inches of snow sadly.
